But eve..."Santa" doesn't come to our house either. But every year we read the book (Sorry, I am using quotation marks because I can't underline) "The Legend of St. Nicholas." We talk about how the real St. Nicholas AKA Santa gave to children who were poor because God gave the greatest gift of Jesus to us all. The kids don't mind, but we just let them have their own discussions about Santa, and see where it goes. Glad you guys had such a fun party!! =) The kids look so cute.hestermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025673291317975980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129406.post-85227120066903578782008-12-15T08:33:00.000-06:002008-12-15T08:33:00.000-06:00Looks like so much fun!!!

But then, the day after Christmas, we were out shopping and a lady came up to Cody and said, "So, what did Santa bring you yesterday?" Cody said, "Nothing. Santa did not come to our house." The lady responded with, "Why? Were you a bad little boy this year?" <BR/><BR/>I was mortified. I don't necessarily like doing the Santa thing and we completely downplay it, but he does come to our house. Cody is asking lots of questions about it already, so I don't think he'll believe much longer anyway. He's really logical and seems to think it odd that reindeer can fly. : )<BR/><BR/>We NEED to get together real soon.

I think, if it's done in moderation, the Santa aspect is not detrimental.<BR/><BR/>But...I totally respect your decision to not do it.<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear the kids had fun at the party! We have a cookie decorating party next week!Queen of the Mayhemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317309061471274358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129406.post-73656990077798962312008-12-14T13:50:00.000-06:002008-12-14T13:50:00.000-06:00It's nice to know that you guys dont' have Santa s...It's nice to know that you guys dont' have Santa stop at your house. We've just not talked to Caleb about it...and were pretty sure that it was going to be fine...but of course everyone and their mother is asking Caleb if he's excited for Santa....Brent's fam is big into Santa....we're still not entirely sure how to go about it.Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921757406051558089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129406.post-15906518421487700712008-12-14T13:08:00.000-06:002008-12-14T13:08:00.000-06:00It has never been a problem for us.

They know that Santa goes to other peoples houses just not ours. And they are fine with it. When strangers ask (after Christmas) did you get anything good from Santa they simple say, Santa doesn't come to our house. People don't tend to argue with a child so we have found it best for them to respond. They never say Santa isn't real or anything like that to ruin it for those people who choose to do Santa. I am blessed to have a hubby who is in a 100% agreement about not celebrating Santa on Christmas. We do have friends and family members that do Santa and some that don't. We've just agreed to disagree on the subject.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816260131470363977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129406.post-81775907374136819362008-12-14T08:10:00.000-06:002008-12-14T08:10:00.000-06:00How has it gone with Santa not stopping at your ho...How has it gone with Santa not stopping at your house? Santa will not be stopping at our house either and I was just curious if you have had problems when it comes to other people in your family that do have Santa stop or friends that have Santa stop?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341364646157968558noreply@blogger.com
